Chapter 13 (1/2)
The night had passed. There had not been a centipede or a spider in the room. Xiao Chen felt his head heavy when he woke up. Maybe he really had drunk too much yesterday.
Xiao Han glanced at him and said, “Can you do it? If not, you’d better go home. Then you won’t be embarrassing yourself in public.”
“Humph…” Xiao Chen turned over and jumped up from the bed.
“Speaking of which, I dreamed that Shangguan Yan will be there in the test…” After his voice fell, the two youths both shivered.
“It’s early in the morning! Don’t tell ghost stories!”
A total of four senior brothers came to arrange the people who were here for the entrance test. However, there were about three or four thousand people here, making the four senior brothers’ job more difficult. Thanks to their aura of Immortals, nobody dared to cause trouble. The chaos and clamor lasted only for a few moments, and then the order was restored among the crowd.
The large group of people marched to the Lingtai Mountain in the east. Two hours later, they came to an empty area in a valley. Numerous mountains towered in the distance, and one of them pierced through the clouds. It was the Lingtai Mountain.
The crowd had waited here for about 30 minutes. The fog was so thick that they could barely see what lay ahead. Suddenly, four rows of sword radiance descended here and turned into four youths in white. They stood on their swords and looked down at the crowd as if they were looking at creeps.
Xiao Chen looked at the four youths and found out that they were just at Lv 3 or 4 Qi Refining Realm. Also, they could only ride on swords with the help from the formation of the sect.
Thousands of people, who were chattering just now, instantly became quiet under the aura of Immortals.
Then, two of the four youths landed on the ground with gentle faces. The other two deadpan youths kept still in the air.
Over 90% of the participants came here themselves, and the left was introduced here like Xiao Chen and his company.
In the utter silence, a senior brother on the ground said with a gentle smile, “Everyone, don’t be nervous. I think you already knew the rules before you are here, and I’ll speak no more about the rules. After the entrance test, you will take a Spiritual Meridian test. So I hope you won’t make other plans.”
A senior brother in the air said coldly, “It means that those without Spiritual Meridians can get the fu*k off now. Don’t try to be some fishes in troubled waters! Otherwise, I’ll throw you into the mountains to feed those wolves!”
His words scared many participants. The senior brother on the ground smiled bitterly and said, “He’s just joking. Anyway, you have to have a Spiritual Meridian to join our sect. Do your best in the test because those who get the highest scores will be more likely to directly become Inner Disciples.”
The one in the air scanned the crowd and noticed a 70-year-old hunchback old man. He said coldly, “Hey, that grandpa over there, your grandson has arrived. The wind is too big here. Please go home.”
The hunchback old man shivered and said, “Uhh… Senior brother, I’m here for the entrance test…”
“What!”
The crowd booed and looked at the old man.
The senior brother in the air was shocked for a moment before saying, “Come on! Grandpa! You’re almost over 70 years old! What’s the point for you to cultivate?”
The hunchback old man giggled, revealing the remaining few teeth. “My wife told me that I have 12 Spiritual Meridians. Then here I am. Hahaha…”
“Please! Grandpa! This is not a place for fun. Please go home!”
Another moment later, the senior brother in the air noticed a bald man and said coldly, “Hey! Hey! Hey!” “That monk, I’m talking about you! Stop looking at the others! Which temple are you from? Don’t you know that we are a Daoism sect? Are you here to make troubles?”
The bald man shivered and said, “Senior… Senior brother, don’t get me wrong. I’m bald since I was a child.”
“Bald? It’s too bad for the sect’s image. Go, now!”
“Hey! Hey! Hey! That fatty over there! Stop eating! You are so fat that you might even break the sword when you stand on it. Go, go, go!”
“Your honored Immortal, don’t get me wrong. I’m here to serve my young master. I won’t take part in the test…”
Just like this, after a round of selecting, there were only less than 2000 people left, and their talent was rather good since all of them had Spiritual Meridians.
At this moment, the Three Princes triplet stepped forth as each one of them took out a letter and handed it over to the senior brother on the ground. The senior brother took a look at the letters and was a bit shocked. He then nodded and said, “So you’re introduced by the Forth Elder. Good.”
The three princes immediately looked cocky and glanced at the crowd. Prince Yan said to the other two princes beside him, “Since we’re already Cultivators, shall we adopt nicknames that are cool and unvulgar?”
Prince Zhao said, “Sounds great. What about the Three Swordsmen?”
“Good! The Three Swordsmen! Cool enough!”
The crowd snorted and said, “Is it proud to be introduced? Humph! Three cunts!”
At this moment, Xiao Wan’er walked forth with her hands on her back. She looked so cute and adorable that men around her kept staring at her. She asked in a sweet voice, “Senior Brother, isn’t Brother Cheng Ying here?”
“You… Do you and Senior Brother Cheng Ying know each other?” The disciple on the ground was a bit surprised.
The truth was, there were five major elders in the Three Pure Sect, and Cheng Ying was the Pro-disciple of the Third Elder. The fact that the Third Elder sent Cheng Ying to pick up Xiao Chen and the other two people proved that the Perfected Immortal Zixu, the Sect Leader of the Three Pure Sect, paid much attention to the Xiao Family.
